Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

PolandQuite noisy at common areas, especially in the evenings when the terrace is closed and its not possible to get away from loud music and shouting people. My food was moved to the "free food" shelf even though the bag was labeled on both sides with proper dates - by the time I realized that some of the food was gone. My electronic toothbrush was stolen, I know its not a fault of the hostel, but the feeling was not so nice. Id prefer I could put the duvet in the duvet cover - you only get another bedsheet though, which is not very hygienic. Overexpensive - Barcelona is getting too expensive, really, you will pay a half of the price for the same accomodation in Madrid or Valencia.
Great location - you may go on foot to many places, close to Passeig de Gracia train station, too. Superhelpful staff - thank you! :) The hostel is clean, rooms and bed are comfortable. Well equipped kitchen (though I missed a freezer). Free lugagge storage.People behaved rather polite and quiet in my room.

United KingdomThere aren’t as many female only hostel rooms. Normally I would book one of these, but seeing as it was just one night, being in a mixed dorm was fine.
Rock Palace was such a cool spot, I’m sad I was only there for one night. Very central to many of the sights, close to lots of different restaurants, and it had a pool on the rooftop where I got to watch the sunset on the city. If you arrived before your room was available, you could leave your bag in the storage. The staff were so lovely and I discovered a beautiful quiet room that had A/C and a gorgeous stained glass window.

AustraliaBathrooms small and don't feel very private or clean. Pillow extremely flat and no privacy curtains on bed. Doors need to be locked with key card each time coming in and out which didn't get done much, so room didn't feel very secure with anyone able to walk in.
Full communal kitchen and cheap dinners every night, location very easy to get around.

United KingdomThey charge city tax and a deposit of 10 euros before your stay. You have to declare a credit card to pay. It was a surprise for me. It would have been better if they would have indicated these extras separately on Booking com.
They have a 24/7 room desk. This was very important for me. Breakfast was 7 euros and unlimited. It was great. Staff was friendly and good.

Quite noisy - kind of a party hostel and I dont mean just the evenings, sometimes during the day the music in common area was played really loud and not everyone is a big fan of reggaeton :)
